Penn Foundation Inc. received a $532,424 Project Grant award from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026, representing the fourth consecutive year of funding under the Staff Sergeant Parker Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program (CFDA 64.055). The organization delivers community-based, non-clinical suicide prevention services to veterans and their families in Pennsylvania, including outreach activities, mental health screening, suicide prevention counseling, and facilitation of connections to Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and community resources for eligible veteran populations.

As an established non-profit organization specializing in mental health and suicide prevention services, Penn Foundation Inc. implements these grant-funded services through a public health approach that complements clinical mental health interventions. The organization utilizes VA-provided assessment tools and submits regular performance and financial reports to maintain compliance with program requirements. The consistent multi-year funding reflects the organization's demonstrated capacity to successfully execute evidence-based suicide prevention initiatives and serve vulnerable veteran populations effectively.
